MITT: Anode Rods
Enhance you Business with premium products from us.
Anode Rod helps in protecting water tanks from corrosion from the inside. As it is placed inside the water tank, it undergoes an electrochemical reaction and it diverts corrosion from glass lined steel tank to it. Over time, it dissolves and sacrifices itself to protect the tank, hence it is also known as a sacrificial anode. The three most active materials used in sacrificial anodes are aluminum, magnesium or zinc, as they are less noble metal compared to steel. |

The single most important factor in whether a water heater lives or dies is the condition of its sacrificial anode. A tank filled with water, an electrolytic process begins whereby sacrificial anodes are consumed to protect the tank. |
